Totally Delight Your Minimalist With These Non-Lame Christmas Gifts

Shopping for a minimalist for any occasion feels like an oxymoron. How do you get something special for someone who is thrilled at the sight of empty space and trash bags of stuff perched at the front door ready for the donation bin at Goodwill?

What to get the man or woman who wants nothing?

It can be a challenge, but I’ve created a list of ideas, experiences, and things that aren’t money stuffed in an envelope that will be sure to delight you or the minimalist in your life.

These are gift ideas that I would personally love to receive because they have to do with the heart and the mind. I would say that I’m equally an experiences/things person. I’m not at all against receiving material goods as gifts, as long as it is something I can definitely use and something that I will love for years.

What not to get a minimalist

Before we dive into what to get, let’s talk briefly about what not to get. It’s a short list but it will help you a lot:

clothing of any kind

shoes

jewelry

technology

knick knacks

Even if you think you know your minimalist, don’t put the pressure on yourself to nail their style. Afterall, Christmas isn’t about giving the perfect gift. Making another person feel loved and appreciated is more than enough!

Polaroid or Fujifilm Instax Camera (I know I said no tech, but this is just a really great exception to that rule because you get to have a tangible artifact.)

In conclusion

Think outside the box and focus on experiences and simple gestures of love and appreciation. I promise you’ll feel equally amazing when giving a gift like this. Please share this article around because I firmly believe we all need to give and receive in these ways.

Wouldn’t it be nice if this Christmas we were all “off the hook” when it came to finding the perfect gift for each other?
